Abstract
Intelligent vehicles can make road traffic safer, more efficient, and cleaner. We provide an overview of current and emerging intelligent functions in vehicles. We focus on intelligent functions that actively interfere with the task of driving a vehicle. We give a classification based on the driving task, the type of road, and the level of support. We give a review of route guidance systems, advanced driver assistance systems, as well as automated vehicles. We discuss the non-technological issues that need to be addressed for the successful deployment of intelligent vehicles, such as cooperation between industry and public authorities, increasing awareness amongst stakeholders, research and development, and legal framework. Finally, we introduce the subjects that will be addressed in the remainder of this section.
